London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

[frontsfan67]

Please don't entertain this with paragraphs of reasoning. Most "lads" know it's an unnecessary, unrealistic pipe dream

Only way it gets done is Hawery. Mews will be back next year.

 

[Holden Caufield]

In what world would London be targeting Mews? They are loaded with puck movers and offense on the backend.

Probably a center or nothing at this point I would assume.

 

[tjziel]

Exactly! We don’t need Mews. His defensive game is suspect, but if we have to give up Hawery, I’d rather it be for Jett Luchanko….

I hope London comes to the table and says here is Hawery, let’s do the trade…

100%. If Hawery was movable and London was motivated to move him, Luchanko makes wayyyyy more sense.

 

[Chris Coutu]

Did we ever figure out the A card situation? Did we come to the conclusion London has used 29 cards and can make 1 more move for 1 player?

 

[Long Reach]

Can’t see anything else happening if not upgrading forward/center on the top two lines. Mews makes no sense. You already have Dickinson-Bonk-Allen-Brz-Woolley-Fimis. Fagan and Spencer in the nosebleeds.

Can this team, as constructed, win a championship? Yes but so can other teams. It will be a battle. This is where having Dale usually pays off. I respect that people prefer Barrie’s roster but if comparing teams you have to consider the coaching where London should have an edge.

I am reasonably sure you are at 29. The only possible 30th is Fimis. The typical process is to automatically put the rookies on Affiliate cards and let them play their nine games keeping the main card free. Sometimes, with key prospects that are clearly “on the team,” they will assign a full card but it really isn’t necessary because they get their full card once they play their 10th game.

I don’t see a reason why London would have assigned a full card to Fimis right away.

I could be wrong but wouldn't he have had to wear a cage if he was on a B card?

 

[OMG67]

He’s 17. I don’t think so since he is not an underage player. But, I don’t know that rule specifically.

Also, I think I remember the Knights getting to 30 cards recently and they put out a tweet to that effect saying they are officially done.

Yes that makes way more sense than Mews and hopefully Hawery stays in Lon regardless.

It could be a different situation but I know a clue years ago when Kingston ran into injury issues they picked up a couple 18 year old OJHL D for a few games they both wore cages, but I don't know if that's because they were true call-ups as opposed to someone signed.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Fimis is wearing a full cage.

 

[sbpointer]

Fimis is wearing a full cage.

That's due to injury.

 

[rve24]

That's due to injury.

Healthy stick in the chops will do that. Not knowing the kid I at first didn't know if he was looking for a call but the fact he had it on later that game n more telling the following game suggest a bit of damage.

 

[nelli27]

Looks like Rogers OHL Actionpak is being offered for free, must be a promo.
Channels 466, 467 carrying games tonight.
I also noticed that channel 430 regularly carries Brantford Bulldogs games.

 

[Knightsfan90]

With McCue off the board it's all eyes on Luchanko hopefully NTC are waved

With luchenko possibly to saginaw and mccue to flint, we are probably done trading

Luchanko isn't going to Saginaw just saying they just sold buying Luchanko would very a waste of assets only benefit is if he comes back next year that's a BIG gamble

Luchanko isn't going to Saginaw just saying

I heard guelph is considering keeping him

 

[Knightsfan90]

I heard guelph is considering keeping him

Yah it's called hardball Luchanko wants to win a championship Guelph wants Hawery so we shall see

 

[LDN]

Yah it's called hardball Luchanko wants to win a championship Guelph wants Hawery do we shall see

I wish Luchanko would force their hand lol

Can't wait for any updates on on dressed players over the next 2 nights Injured, traded, sick, I heard, I read........

 

[crowncarrier]

I like Londons D more, I like Londons forwards more: Barkey, O’Reilly, Cowan, Nicholl, Montgomery, Halttunnen, Nurmi, Sim, Julien better high end and more grit.

Not trying to be mean but that's the first time I've ever seen "grit" and "Julien" in the same sentence.

 

[crowncarrier]

I really hope the rumour of Jett Luchanko to Saginaw is not a real thing and just speculation.

I pray it's real...would be a dumb move for Saginaw and it would put to rest the rumors to london.

 

[crowncarrier]

If the Knights do anything I hope they can get a discount deal with conditional picks for Musty.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Yes this would be Winterton 2.0! I would love that deal

 

[nelli27]

Can't we just add "cash considerations" to a trade proposal?
Musty OR Luchanko for player x, draft picks, AND 'cash considerations'. lol!
